Captain, there be whales here

Was the first I heard him say

And then merge left, leap right -

Let's see what's out there men

 

I passed the fool upon the street

But he caught up with me

Have you seen my dragon, friend

Oh how I miss him so

He's green with silver dots

And a stripe upon his nose

 

Unhand me sir, I cried aloud

And shook his hand from me

I have not time for foolish games

There are important things to do

 

A glint appeared in his

Fuzzled eye

A sob cleared passed his throat,

 

Yount sir, cried he

(Tears streaming down)

If you ahve no time for games

When shall you find the time for life

As all lives should be lived?

 

When faeries cease to dance outside

When, oh when

Oh man

Will you have the time for rainbows?

 

Head bore low, I turned away

And thought upon his words

When next I strode upon the street

I stopped a man preoccupied with

All the strains of life

 

I laid my hand upon his shoulder

Stared him eye to eye

Excuse me sir, I asked of him,

But have you seen my dragon?
